“Today is also the birth anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar. I pay my heartfelt tributes to him. The policies and decisions taken by our government over the past decade have worked towards restoring the dignity of the Constitution. After the abrogation of Article 370, the Constitution of India is now fully applicable across the entire nation,” Modi said.

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also paid tributes to Ambedkar, describing him as the architect of a democratic framework that guarantees equal rights and opportunities to all sections of society.

In a post on X, Shah said Ambedkar had opposed Article 370, terming it against the country's unity and integrity.“He laid the strong foundation of India's democracy by giving the country a Constitution that grants equal rights and opportunities to every class. He staunchly opposed Article 370 for the sake of the country's integrity,” Shah said.

Speaking at a separate event, Shah also highlighted the government's security approach, linking it to responses to past terror attacks. He said the present dispensation had responded decisively to incidents such as the Uri and Pulwama attacks.

“After Uri, surgical strikes were carried out. After Pulwama, air strikes were conducted, and after the Pahalgam attack, Operation Sindoor was launched,” he said.
